An interesting question. And I think -- this might surprise you -- the
answer is no. I enjoy the act of gardening, and certainly the results are
part of it, the gravy you might say, but it is the process that is most
important to me.

Here, perhaps, is an indicator whether one is most interested in the
process or the product. Given the choice between a seedling or very young
plant and a landscape sized ready-to-impress one, even in the unlikely
event they were both the same price, I'd take the seedling. I want to
watch it grow up. A full sized knock-your-socks-off shrub or perennial
wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
